Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all‑purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup semi‑sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup red & green M&M’s
- ¼ cup Christmas jimmies
- Extra Christmas sprinkles, for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
- Add egg and vanilla; stir to combine.
- Mix in flour and salt until just combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips, M&M’s, and jimmies.

- While still warm, sprinkle extra sprinkles on top. Let cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- Swap in white chocolate chips or crushed peppermint for flavor variation.
- Use gluten‑free flour to make it gluten‑free.
- Freeze sliced bars between parchment paper for up to 2 months; thaw before serving.
- For clean slices, let bars cool fully or chill slightly before cutting. Using a hot, clean knife helps too.
